http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-bulls-heat With a 2-1 series lead at stake, the Bulls and Heat renew acquaintances Sunday in Miami, ending a roughly 94-hour hiatus in the already-physical matchup. When Game 2 ended Wednesday, just about everyone in the Heat locker room had an icepack strapped to something, and more than a few limped their way to the bus that would carry them to the airport. Just think: They were the winning side. ... Strange as it may sound, the bigger boost for Chicago may come if Kyle Korver(notes)— off to a 2 for 10 start in the series—gets his shot going again. The Bulls are 30-4 this season when Korver scores at least 10 points, 41-20 when he doesn’t.
Play Korver 48 mins and let him have every other shot!!!! If he scores 10, we are almost sure to win.
We are 4-0 when Watson (as a reserve) score more than 12. Same with Gibson. Clearly, they should get subbed in at the 1 minute mark and see if we can't get on of the two of them off. Darn near guarenteed!!!!
Man, the wait has been insufferable. It could be worse, you could be my wife (this goes both ways.) I can't stand how all the smug ESPN b******S picked Heat to win, our blowout was hardly a speed bump, and they are all d*** sure that Heat will roll us. Come'on Bulls!!!!
Plenty of Bulls fans in attendance ... a lot of red scattered amongst the white t-shirts. http://twitter.com/#!/ESPNChiBulls/status/72454710333943808
Please God let the Bulls take the Heat right out of this game so the PA guy will muzzle it up http://twitter.com/#!/swirsk054/status/72455065591492608
TNT showed the scoring of Deng, Boozer, and Korver. All three need to score more than 23 pts between them for us to win.
